The idea of this residency is based on a real integration to local life: the programme provide a flat and a studio and sessions with homesession’s curators for individually-tailored residency development.

The programme is particularly interested in emerging artists developing artistic or experimental production projects based on new ways of producing and discovering the city. Homesession’s curators have a special interest in artworks that explore private and public space (i.e. site-specific installations), time and body (i.e. performance) and identity.

APPLICATION DEADLINE:

June 30 / 2014

DURATION OF STAYS AND CAPACITY

Homesession Studio offers stays of two or three months duration (there is also the possibility to stay 1 or 3 months). This gives artists the opportunity to enjoy the interaction that can be generated within a culturally active neighbourhood in the centre of Barcelona. This, and the involvement of Homesession in the local art scene, makes the stay a key experience in the creative process. We only receive one artist or artist couple at the same time. The reason being to ensure that we can offer quality support.

FEES AND GRANTS
You will find a detailed breakdown of the cost of the residency fees in the following link:

Thanks to the support of institutional partners, we also offer three grants a year, that cover the residency fees and some extra production costs. When applying for the residency, the artist systematically receives access to the selection process for the grant. The response to the applicants includes the resolution of the jury for both residency and eventual grant.

The relationship between the information and political projects is at the ground of Angie Bonino's work: the political modernity and, especially, the Nation-State's demiurgic project that aims at constructing a shared reality for a territory and a people, carries with it many contradictions. Among the obstacles, the transnational dynamics of capitalism have a central position, by producing a strong uncertainty about the place and form of the political power..

In this framework, the information overload has favored the emergence of the figure of conspiracy, which constitutes the basis of Angie Bonino's approach, by questionning the relevance of the official story and its mode of production. The artist takes on a political ontology which relies on a reality that would be distributed on a double level: the official one, at the surface, and a deeper level to which a serie of clues and evidence could lead. .

The project Tras las huellas del delito gives a form to an ongoing investigation through an activist space that connects positions, speeches and hidden intentions: it aims at counteracting "the grammar of normality", a set of rules that promotes the official story as the sole legitimate to deal with reality at a large scale.

All images and objects in "Blank, black, back" are the result of an exchange, a collaboration or a more or less failed negotiation. The exhibition is a game between the continuous decision making, the questioning of authorship as an individual process, the desire to remain open to the unexpected and the need to retain some control. During the exhibition period, new pieces will be added till its closure on 30/11.

Fran Meana (Avilés, 1982) graduated in Fine Arts at the University of Vigo. He currently lives and works in Rotterdam, after studying at the Piet Zwart Institute.

His work explores the forms of power and social rituals, analyzing the relationship between production forms, symbols, images and construction of the collective imagination. He mostly bases on recent events, adding new data, elements of fiction or deliberately erroneous readings, generating new objects, situations or texts.

Opening: Friday, November 16, 2012. 19h30
Timetable: from 16/11 to 30/11 - Wed to Sat, 5pm to 7.30 pm.

The film Les Idoles (The idols) has been realized by Gabriel Desplanquehttp://www.gabrieldesplanque.com/ in September 2012 in Barcelona during his residency at the French Institute.
The screening will be followed by "Le bestiaire du dedans" (The bestiary inside), a sound and visual piece performed live together with Arandel.
"Les Idoles" (The idols)
Film (Premiere).
Duration: 30 minutes.
''No one can see God without dying, they say.
However, witnesses testify to the contrary.''

Le bestiaire du dedans (The bestiary inside)
Live sound and visual piece for a dimly lit space. In collaboration with Arandel.
Duration: 30 minutes.
Dust and crackling talk about some fantastic story escaped the memory of this old women face that was framed by a floral scarf. It's a dark, mysterious and mystical pilgrimage, a funeral march or maybe just a celebration.

Thursday, 27 September 2012. 19h30
Institut Français
Carrer Moià, 8, 08006 Barcelona, Spain
(Please note, the event will begin at 19:30 precise)

The work of Gabriel Desplanque (1981, Paris) draws links between cinema and literature. In his videos and photographs, the image is thus the medium and the subject of a story whose uncertain and discontinuous construction shapes the meanings.

Giving up the conventional samples and MIDI instruments, Arandel is a migratory project with minimalist influences, that focuses on electro melodies with some krautrock inspiration. This is a faceless project, in which the creators disappear behind the creation: Arandel gives the prominent role to the music.
